While the issue that started this thread is minor, the overall frequency of errors is getting silly at this point. Heads would have rolled by now at most businesses after such consistently poor quality on customer-facing materials.
Perhaps the new Sr Business Manager they appear to be hiring for MTGO will help. The position seems marketing-oriented:
company.wizards.com/about/careers/sr-bus...
What do you mean Xarby? Are you experiencing other errors with the site, or errors in MTGO?
@Blippy is it still showing articles for other languages?
I don't have time right now to go back and try to find examples, but there is a long history of publishing incorrect event dates, times, details, prices, prizes...you name it; mostly on MTGO-related pages. To the point where the quality of such and the frustration level is seen as a bit of a joke around the community. Has always seemed to be very little to no quality control and accountability around such things. I'm sure others will back me up on this, and a search through the posts on this board would capture some prime examples.

It appears to be resolved. For now. Rest assured I'll let you know if that changes!

I got the impression that there were problems you saw happening when you posted. I know there are mistakes and glitches that can happen occasionally on the website, it just helps if I can catch them when they happen so I can let the web team know.

Thanks Blippy. I'll check around and see if anybody knows why that would happen. If it's a long-standing issue, it's possible that the team has already explored possible solutions.

It's not hard.
How about the time v3 released and half the population that was in the dark while the rest of us who kept trying early got almost a weeks worth of extra microfont. Granted it was up and running ahead of schedule but don't you think everyone who invested in a game to play during thier liesure time should have been told rather than waiting?
Or perhaps I should just say CAW!

I got the impression that there were problems you saw happening when you posted. I know there are mistakes and glitches that can happen occasionally on the website, it just helps if I can catch them when they happen so I can let the web team know.
And as if ordered, there's one now:
community.wizards.com/go/thread/view/758...
This sort of thing is, unfortunately, quite common.

Thanks Xarby. I just responded in that thread, but in short - I'm looking into it. Hopefully it was just a mix-up when posting links (they look like they're working now) and can be avoided in the future.

It's ba-ack! Instead of treating the symptom, try treating the disease.

There are three Japanese articles at the bottom of wizards.com/Magic/Digital/Default.aspx under Headlines. When I was looking at those articles, I found mtg-jp.com. I did not realise the amount of Japanese support that Wizards provided. There are some Japanese versions of articles on the main site too like this one.

Meh, I guess I should make it a habbit of reading every post, not that I have the time.
More to the point.
This issue was reported well over a year ago by me, and I was told it was a known issue and was being looked into.
The cause of the issue or the fix, which doesnt seem there was one?, im not privy to.
It changes to many different languages. I have just learn to live with it as in the big picture its not the end of the world.
